Prime Minister Imran Khan, opposition leaders Asif Ali Zardari and Bilawal Bhutto Zardari paid eloquent tributes to the martyrs of the APS tragedy on the seventh anniversary of the terrorist assault on Army Public School Peshawar.
“On December 16, 2014, terrorists assaulted and martyred over 140 people at APS, Peshawar, including 132 children,” Imran Khan tweeted. Terrorism has been vanquished in Pakistan. I want to emphasise that we will never fail the surviving and parents of our murdered children. Violence and those who use it as a technique have no place in our society.”
In his speech on the seventh anniversary of the unfortunate tragedy at Army Public School, Prime Minister Imran Khan asked the nation to remain firmly together against those who want to sow dissension and prejudice along sectarian, religious, and ethnic lines.
The Prime Minister stated that the country should identify these groups among its ranks and assist the government in eliminating them.
Time has proven, according to Imran Khan, that terrorism has no religion or nation, but rather is a cowardly mindset that can even use children to carry out its heinous plans.
Imran Khan stated that the Army Public School victims’ sacrifices were not in vain. He stated that as a result of this heinous act, the Pakistani people became unified and tackled the threat with solid resolve. According to him, the enemy was targeted and exterminated in their caves under the National Action Plan.
On this day in 2014, seven TTP terrorist attacks claimed the lives of 147 individuals, including students and teachers.
The Army Public School had around 1,000 staff members and kids at the time of the tragedy, with many of the students being children of military personnel.
